Voltage conversion of Accuphase E-4000 I hear it is basically solder wire to a different tap on the same transformer. Now, trick is to know WHICH tap is it... Typically transformer should have 3 input taps - 100, 120 and 220 which should cover all the world voltages. 100V should be the... | |
Marantz 3300 - Fanboy issues, buyer beware..... Quality active speakers with Airplay and sub will do. Airpulse or Edifier. Phone or tablet with Spotify or Tidal over via airplay. Edifier S2000MKIII, AirPulse A100, A200, A300. Add sub of your choice. Polk is good. | |
A Sanely Priced Power Conditioner That Actually Works - OnFilter PDU @helomech - surge protection is real. My furnace died b/c of the surge. Now I have surge protection for it and the entire house. EMI? Not really, IMO. We don't do critical listening in an industrial environment... | |
speakers and cables @grislybutter - the Web page (parts express) says 250W RMS. The wire is pretty thin for 100W, I'd say. Would anyone run that thin wire from amp to speakers? I hope that cap is not electrolytic. Basically, parts quality should not be less than the ... | |
Judging speakers to purchase. My favorite music sounds the way I like it to sound. This is the only attribute I care about. | |
Power consuption of an amplifier So, here is what I found Power output: 150 watts per channel at 8 ohms (300W at 4 ohms), both channels driven Thus, what speakers are you planning to use? Check impedance and not just rated resistance - if 8 ohms speaker actually drops to 4 ohms... | |
speakers and cables @mswale - that ’speaker’ filter does not specify power rating. Judging from the picture it would only work with few watts amp. '250 W RMS', well, we've all seen boomboxes with '1000 Watts' stickers... | |
Balanced vs Unbalanced Digital Cables XLR is designed for long cable runs and noisy environments. Like concerts with tons of gear and cables. Or recording studios. I’d say it depends how your equipment is designed. If it is fully balanced internally, then, obviously, use XLR in order ... | |
Looking for a true upgrade in sound quality Remember that 'fiber' is only local. Actual path to the streaming cloud goes via multiple paths, electric, fiber, satellite, hundreds of switches and routers. Data comes out of order and reassembled locally. There is no actual "stream" between you... | |
Are Marantz and Bowers & Wilkens becoming pawns in Masimo's internal fight? I would not invest in any high end audio manufacturer | |
Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? And I bet 90% of buyers will put them in their expensive houses with glass floor to ceiling windows and zero acoustic treatment | |
Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? @daveyf - this is the only way they can survive. Too few customers. Young folks buy $500 active system at Amazon and it sounds pretty good (facing my desktop active speakers with ribbons right now). Also, young generation is much better educated i... | |
Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? Very few goods are priced as 'cost + small margin'. Goods are priced at market - as high as buyer may be willing to spend. So sure. Just look as Porsche tax | |
Absorption behind components and speakers rationale? Behind speakers is usually to clean bass reflections. But this means panels must be THICK (2" and up) and/or use cylindrical traps in corners | |
